Sarah kissed his cheeks 'sshh...I'm here now...we are together now...that's what matter that most'

Theo smiled and protectively hold her 'i won't let you go...i will keep you with me all the time'

Sarah smiled vanished 'but you did let me go...you hurt me ...you hurt my AVa'

Theo shakes his head but Sarah was getting away from his hold...he tries to catch her...but she was crying badly...Theo try to run to her but he saw she was bleeding...she was looking so weak and fragile and then she falls down

Theo screamed 'SARAH'

But being the oldest son he will always make an effort...he walks toward his father room...and he heard his mom loud voice 'You spoil brat...look what you did...where is your nanny...you really need to get punished this time'

He looked confused to whom she is talking like that when he heard a small wobbling voice 'Im sorry grandma' Theo stop and realized it was Ava's voice

Roma lost it 'stop favouring her she always does this shitty things'

Theo can't hear this any more and he saw his mother was looking like she will kill anyone right now and then he saw Ava small two-year-old body leaning towards Mr Grey wheelchair and she was holding her grand dada hand and her tears were falling. Theo's heart clenched when he saw her like this so scared and alone

Theo said 'whats happening and why mom are you shouting like this'

Roma turns and said 'This good for nothing drop water on my floor ...she always makes a mess... I don't know why she always comes here'

Mr Grey said 'I...I t..ttt..told her to..too be with me'

Roma shakes her head and Theo replied 'Mom you do know it can get clean...it just water...and wheres her nanny'

Roma was about to replied that Ava nanny came with the glass of milk and give to Roma ..'Im sorry Mr grey ...but Miss Ava she was complaining to be with her dada. I try to stop her but she runs away from me'

Theo said to Ava 'Ava do what your nanny and grandma say ok no more complaints'

Ava looks more scared and nodes and softly said 'Ok daddy'

Theo winced whenever she said to him daddy...like it hit him on the fact that what a shitty dad he is to her.

Ava then slowly said 'Bye dadda' Mr grey smiled at her and kissed her cheeks

Her nanny takes her and Theo can see she looked scared when she holds her nanny hand and he doesn't know why...maybe he is overanalyzing it.

Roma sighs when she is gone 'Why can't you put her in the boarding school....'
